As we move further into a transformative age that brings with it significant changes to the hiring landscape, Udacity and Google are committed to providing meaningful opportunities to help people master the most important skills they need to be successful in the modern economy.

We are now past the era where technical skills only apply “in tech.” In today’s world, skills such as web and mobile development are relevant to every industry—not just Silicon Valley.

In fact, nearly 90% of software developers in the US live outside Silicon Valley, and there are a number of open software development jobs—more than 220K across the country as of 2016.

The average salary for one of those jobs is $104K, and you don’t need a computer science degree to get hired. What you do need, are skills, experience, and guidance—all of which you’ll gain through this scholarship challenge.

What you need to know

From the words of the founder of UDACITY he has this to say:

“We’re excited to be part of Grow with Google. It’s through scholarship programs like this that we’re preparing students with the latest technical skills needed to succeed now and into the future.” —Sebastian Thrun, Founder, Udacity

The Google Audacity Program, Grow with Google aims to help Americans with the skills they need to prepare for and find a job, and this new scholarship initiative will provide every recipient with the chance to learn new skills, launch or advance their career, and unlock their potential. In the past year alone, Udacity and Google have combined to offer 130K scholarships to people all over the world.

There are two phases to this new scholarship program:

Phase 1: 50,000 Challenge Scholarships

The first phase of this Audacity Google scholarship provides three months of access to one of four Udacity courses: Intro to HTML + CSS, Offline Web Applications, Android Basics, and Developing Android Apps.

Scholarship recipients in these courses will receive a robust community experience supported by Udacity mentors and dedicated Community Managers; they will also have a chance to qualify for a full Nanodegree scholarship.

Phase 2: 5,000 Nanodegree Scholarships

The top 5,000 students in the program will earn an additional 6-month scholarship to one of four Nanodegree programs: Front-End Web Developer, Mobile Web Specialist, Android Basics, and Android Developer.

These programs offer a world-class curriculum, a groundbreaking classroom experience, industry-leading instructors, expert project reviews, and a full suite of career services.

Before I continue here are things you need to know about AUDACITY

Udacity is a for-profit educational organization founded by Sebastian Thrun, David Stevens, and Mike Sokolsky offering massive open online courses (MOOCs). According to Thrun, the origin of the name Udacity comes from the company’s desire to be “audacious for you, the student”.

While it originally focused on offering university-style courses, it now focuses more on vocational courses for professionals.

In November 2012, founder Sebastian Thrun won the Smithsonian American Ingenuity in Education Award for his work with Udacity.

Each of the courses offered by audacity consists of several units comprising video lectures with closed captioning, in conjunction with integrated quizzes to help students understand concepts and reinforce ideas, as well as follow-up homework, which promotes a “learn by doing” model. Programming classes use the Python language; programming assignments are graded by automated grading programs on the Udacity servers.

5 things you should do to get selected for the 2nd phase of your Udacity Google Scholarship

From the pen of a former scholar of the previous scholarship program: A guide to help you get into the top 10% of scholars who will earn the additional 6-month Nanodegree scholarship.

First of all, congratulations on getting selected for the scholarship challenge. You surely did a good job with your application! You can be proud of yourself! Many people got rejected, so if you’re in, feel yourself privileged!

No matter if you were selected for the Front-End Web Developer, the Mobile Web Specialist, the Android Basics, or the Android Developer track, this article will help you get into the next phase, where the real magic happens.
So, let’s see what you need to do to get in!

Get rid of your Fear and/or Disappointment

When the scholarship starts off, you may feel confused or overwhelmed. You may even think the whole scholarship experience is nothing but chaos, especially when you join your scholarship #Slack channel and see the tremendous number of posts flooding in. Here are a few reactions you may experience:

Based on your skill set, you might think this is not for you, either because the initial video lessons seem to be too easy, or too hard

Based on your schedule, you might feel that you are at a disadvantage since there are a lot of people who can participate in full time

Based on your expectations, you might feel this is not for you in general.

Well, let me tell you I had a similar feeling 9 months ago when our Android Basics Nanodegree scholarship started. I won’t say that your worries and fears are not valid, but you definitely have to overcome them. And remember this: It’s pretty likely that all of your fellow scholarship students have the same feelings.

Start working

You had your reason to apply. You wanted to learn something new. You should not forget this. Generally, if you want something really bad, you don’t even need a scholarship, right? You can keep listing all your cons and problems, but they will not get you closer to your goal.

So, just stop it. Start watching the videos and get your quizzes and projects (if there are any) done. This whole seemingly chaotic situation will calm down soon.

Understand the Selection Process

There is so much more you can get from Udacity than a simple video course and a credential. The Udacity community is something that you definitely want to be part of (There are a thousand reasons why this is true;

I won’t go into details now, just trust me on this!). And Udacity takes it seriously to build it even further. That’s why the contribution to this mission is the second most valued aspect in the selection process.

But let’s get more specific and see what the two aspects are, listed according to their importance:

I. Successful completion of course material and meaningful attempts at all quizzes and projects.

(Note: there is no reward for finishing first or early)

II. Support of fellow students and being active in forums and on Slack.

This makes a lot of sense. But how will recipients actually be selected? Well, in the case of course completion and the forum, Udacity has all the data they need

But how about Slack? You’ll have mentors, moderators and community managers, whose one job is to help and engage students.

But Udacity also monitors the participants, and I think they prepare a list of the ones who are putting time into helping others. So the Big Brother is watching! — Haha! 🙂

So here are the 5 things you need to do to get selected for the 2nd Phase:

Participate in Slack: Udacity monitors all channels. Try to spend at least 10 minutes each day to see what’s going on in your country channel, in the announcement channel, and in the other channels, you might be interested in.

Enjoy! It’s always important!

That’s it! Easy, right?

Once again: I understand all your worries and problems, but hey, you know exactly what you need to do now! I know it’s hard, I know it takes time, but it is absolutely worth it:

Now go and do your best! Quality over quantity. Try to be helpful rather than a spammer. Complete all tasks in the classroom. You’re going to love the second phase!
